When I was in Sunday School, we were given a strict (Catholic Catechism) definition: Your neighbor is anyone you meet. It doesn't even specify any "human." My mom always brought home that point whenever animal cruelty was discussed.

Of course, my parents who taught me that lesson are still Catholic and yet super proud of my identity. Very chill with my trans spouse. Even marched with me at a local pride event.

Maybe they're the exception but "love thy neighbor" does still have tangible meaning to some folks.

I’m glad to hear that they are so supportive, that’s awesome! I hope my Catholic parents are as accepting when I come out to them as trans

Yeah might be a translation issue. In the german version it's not "neighbour" but rather "the one next to you".

In French too. "Aime ton prochain".

It's the same in finnish as well; the word used is "lähimmäinen", which translates as "the one that is closest to you". Basically implying everyone you meet
